This tutorial demonstrates how to build a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network for predicting Bitcoin prices from multivariate time series data using PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning. The process involves converting raw time series data into sequences, creating a custom PyTorch Dataset class, implementing a PyTorch Lightning DataModule for training and testing splits, defining an LSTM model architecture with configurable hidden units and layers, and training the model with callbacks for early stopping and model checkpointing. The tutorial emphasizes proper data preprocessing including MinMax scaling and inverse transformation for accurate evaluation, showing how to visualize predictions against actual prices to assess model performance on financial time series forecasting tasks.
